There is no foundation for the theory that
Frank was intoxicated. He bore an ex-

when he purchased the K Of l. ball

meal ticket from Abeps restaurant. The
description answers directly to his appear
ance. He was twenty-one years of age,
short, heavy set young man and weighed
about 145 pounds. He was light complex

full grown beard, but as he could raise
very heavy one his face would be well coy-
cred if he did not shave for week, as was
sometimes the case. When he left home
he wore faded black coat and vest and
pair OF checked trousers.
II can give no theory as to why he
should be murdered. He had no quarrel
with any one and no suspicion attaches to
any Of his acquaintances at Rochester.
The train arrived from the East about
two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and was
Immediately made up for the West. It
did not leave until 11:55 O'Clock that
night, however, and in the meantime was
at Strawberry Lane, very
lovely part of Allegheny City. No stop
was made between Allegheny City and
Alliance, Ohio, so that the body must have
been placed in the carriage before the train
started. Horn was alive and well ut

cations are that he never got as far as the
Union station in this city.
